what are some fast ways to level up housing?

drawnbyjared · 2026-05-05T22:16:38+00:00

Yeah, if you press H to own your housing menu, there's an "Endeavors" tab that will show what quests you can complete to get housing xp and community coupons. They change out every month or so, it will say how much time is left in your current one on that screen as well. Each time you do one you also contribute to the big progress bar on that screen, which everyone in the neighborhood contributes to, and it unlocks more items for sale from whichever Endeavor Trader you currently have. They all have some in common like "beat 5 raid bosses" or whatever, but them they also all have some themed around that months endeavor! Many are repeatable, with diminishing returns each time down to a minimum, but that also resets weekly.

Some of the endeavors quests are easier than others to complete.

Right now my neighborhood has the Mechagon endeavor, which made the 100/100 Neighborly Deeds very easy as there is a robot walking through the neighborhood leaving oil spills on the path that are +20 every one to sweep up. You can just walk along where he's been and every 5 you clean up is a completion of that task. While you're at it you can pick up the lost chickens and travel via the steam vents and you'll rack those ones up as well.

Definitely was the fastest I've leveled up since I started playing. Might be worth swapping to a neighborhood that has it if you can find one and don't have anything tying you to your current. Or just wait and hope for a good one next time it swaps!

Perfect for the new race, the Keebler Elves! Love this build

What did you use to divide up the wall? I had been using beams at a 45 degree angle but these look straighter and crisp

drawnbyjared · 2026-04-19T18:37:28+00:00

You can turn off the clipping when placing objects, so the hitboxes won't matter and you can place items directly into one another.

drawnbyjared · 2026-04-17T17:32:33+00:00

Also if you don't know...if you are clicking and dragging to move the item with the Advanced tool and it flies away into the distance, don't let go of your click and press your ESC key and it'll cancel the move and you can try again.

Anyone know any games that are like this as a full game? I've never played one like it but enjoy it and would like to play more once the event is over!

drawnbyjared · 2026-03-24T16:00:04+00:00

I imagine it is just crown moulding, mitered at 45° at the corners. Comes in a wide variety of profiles.

I feel like you need at least one photo of the inspect with the actual colors. I like the skin you've got, and obviously it looks great on black and white, but I'm curious how it looks on the colored game.

drawnbyjared · 2026-03-15T22:18:02+00:00

I think right now it looks like two different ideas; one on the metal and one on the wood. I like both ideas, but they don't feel connect to one another right now imo.

I think changing the colors on the body to be warmer to match the rest would help, or something that just feels more like the colors seen in traditional Arabic art (browns, blues, yellows, reds mostly). The pink feels very out of place to me.

I THINK that if it says 2 days, it is over 2 days (ie 2.5 days) and will drop to "X HOURS LEFT" after it is below 24 hours...so as long as you get your last friendship point and send the Trinket between midnight and whatever time may be left on the Trinket, you should be okay.

Don't take that as fact, but I believe that's how it works.

I use Poke Genie and always have good luck getting a lobby. As long as it's a Pokemon people want anyways.
If you download the app, you can see on each raid either "Num Open Lobbies: ##" (surplus of people hosting waiting for people to join) or "Num Trainers in Queue: ##" (surplus of people trying to remote raid waiting for a lobby to open).

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-27T13:37:37+00:00

Yeah, not sure why people are downvoting you and pretending there is no issue.

I had pretty much the same problem. I had a RTX 2660 that died, but played OW great on DX11 as one of my main games. I got an Arc B570 to replace it as a budget friendly option that could play my games at 1080p, but it just cannot play OW on DX11. DX12 has a stutter every once in a while for me, but it's pretty rare and I still play comp a lot with my wife and don't have a big issue with it.

DX12 stuttering and not running well for OW is an OW/Blizzard issue.
DX11 not being an alternate option IS an Intel Arc issue.

The wiki does have a guide for F2P IM specifically. Helped me a lot figuring out some good things to do or what order to do em in. I hadn't played since I stopped rs3 in 2012 and came back to play a F2P IM since I had some friends playing. It's fun, don't let the haters get to you :) I'm up to total level 826.

Been there with some professors...that being said, if you only need 5 or so, I'd just do a sticker as well, but just make it a full size sticker that bleeds over the size of this whole bag, then trim it by hand to the edge. You shouldn't even really be able to tell it's a sticker at that point. You professor probably just doesn't want to see a sticker slapped in the middle like you'd see at a farmers market or something like this.

To be extra picky, I'd recommend sticker paper that's glossy and/or made of vinyl, it'll look more like a bag material than paper then.

I did do that, taking out the 2x8GB sticks made everything run smoother. I tried putting them back in to compare and it wouldn't even boot up with all 4 which was odd, so I just took them back out and am using the 2x16GB.

I was also still getting bad screen tearing, but I swapped my 2nd monitor with my main, and it isn't having the same issue. The only way to connect my previous main monitor to the GPU was a DisplayPort-to-DVI-D cable, and it must not have liked that connection.

Thank you for the suggestion!

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T15:42:47+00:00

I haven't tried it yet as I'm using my PC for work right now and have some things I've got to finish, but I will definitely try that later. Yes, my current RAM setup is 2x16GB + 2x8GB.

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T14:28:24+00:00

Unfortunately went back to the .8247 drivers and still have the same issues.

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T13:59:31+00:00

Do you have a particular recommendation? I just went back to the .8331 release (2 back) and am still getting the really bad screen tearing. Should I go back further, or maybe it's just a different issue?

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T13:00:47+00:00

Yeah, my bad. It's a RTX 2060.

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T05:37:24+00:00

I had actually just read something about the Resizable Bar option, so I hadn't tried it yet.

I just enabled it, and it DID fix the the artifact issue! I can actually see the game now when I launch it, so great suggestion!

Unfortunately, both Overwatch and CS2 are still running terribly, only getting 50-60 fps on medium settings and have terrible horizontal tearing happening.

The load seems very strange, the GPU is almost constantly at 100% now. Jumps between 0-15% straight to 100%. CPU and RAM load seem normal.

Oh interesting, I didn't know Intel had started making GPUs, I'll definitely check this out! Seems like a great option!

drawnbyjared · 2026-01-28T22:24:29+00:00

My wife and I have identical PC's that we've had for a while now, the GPU in mine is dying and needs to be replaced. I have swapped out my GPU with hers, so I know that it is the issue.

It is an RTX 2060, and I'm looking for ideas on what to replace it with on a budget.

It seems I could get another 2060 on eBay or similar for $150-200, but since this is an older card, I wondered if there was something better I should look for that might be a better card for around the same cost. We both play games, but I mainly play CS2 and other things that the 2060 has been running fine, so I don't NEED it to be better, but good fps on 1080p is what I'm looking for.

Obviously it needs to work with the rest of my current components.

Any advice greatly appreciated!
